Many teams insist they have no time or budget for user testing, even if they're convinced of the benefits. But what if you could find ways to create, implement and report on usability issues quickly and collaboratively?
In this session, designer and researcher Dani Nordin will outline the process she's developed at Harvard Business to bring user-centered design practices into an Agile product team. You'll learn techniques to rapidly benchmark your user experience, test and report findings , and align stakeholders on critical usability issues.
WANT TO KNOW THE SECRET TO A GREAT UX? Knowing what your users are thinking before they do is a great start...
Academicians know so much about what draws our attention, how we make decisions and what can change our behaviors but have typically buried that knowledge in research papers that rarely cross the chasm into mainstream user experience. Join me for an interactive guide to how your users think and why it matters to your UX practice.
Want to know where users will look first on your interface and why? We’ve got a demo for that. Want your app to be more addictive? We can give you some good suggestions. Want people to buy more stuff or sign up more often? We can help there too. Wish you knew what an affordance was? Okay, maybe that wasn’t keeping up at night but we’ve got that covered too.
John will present a series of fun demos to make the psychological principles memorable and then demonstrate how to apply what you learned to your user experience challenges.

As UX becomes increasingly Agile, a need arises to quickly create and iterate new interface elements. Many popular frameworks exist to document front-end design patterns. Most of them connect directly to the website's CSS, and help developers easily create new interface elements and templates.
But what happens when the design and UX team can't work in code? How can we create truly cross-functional design documentation that works both for developers and designers?
In this session, we will describe the process we have been working on to document our existing design patterns and create a working set of elements that allow both for rapid iteration of design prototypes and implementation of templates in code.
This session is for UXers who work with teams that include both front-end developers and visual/interaction designers, who need to create and iterate on interfaces in rapid, Agile environments.
Adopting IA Heuristics and Iterative UX Reviews: A USPS.com Case StudyJeffrey Ryan Pass
Slides from 2016 IA Summit presentation. Here's how the presentation was described in the #IAS program:
This session (deck) explores the adoption of a set of UX heuristics for USPS.com and how they came to form the backbone for iterative IA/UX audits of the USPS.com domain including any number of sites, micro-sites, sub-domains, tools, and applications. It explores the selection of a UX heuristic set - we settled on a customized version of Abby Covert’s IA Heuristics for Interaction Designers (2011) - and the design and implementation of a repeatable IA/UX audit process.
Together, these form the backbone of of the USPS.com continuous improvement strategy that has significantly improved domain usability as well as communication and cooperation with USPS stakeholders, business drivers, and the agency of record.
These are notes from the Make It So presentation Chris Noessel and I have given at SXSW as well as a few other venues. Because the presentation itself isn't in a format that is easily savable, these notes are a better way to share the content.

Media culture influences what we expect from our interfaces.
When we recognize the Hollywood-ized expectations these examples create, it can be pretty comical.
But we can also derive some simple takeaways we can bring back to our human-centered design work.
Come on, people, have a laugh.
Explains how social dynamics have been changed by the Web, and what it can mean for how organizations design for newer generations.
This is a long presentation I gave at DigitalNow in 2007. It's a sort of mashup of my "Clues to the Future" and "Architectures for Conversation" with some additional content, for a 1.5 hr workshop.
Brandon Schmittling, "Death to All Devices"WebVisions
Digital screens are now as thin as paper, as we often wished for and ultimately expected. These paper-thin displays are referred to as AMOLED and are currently used in some mobile devices and televisions. In my session I will examine the brief history of flexible screens, discuss their current use in the context of a phenomenon called Device Disappearance and explore new uses, interfaces and possible design patterns for this technology in the near future.
Brandon's talk will cover...
• Recognizing device dependence
• Being constrained by our current concept of devices
• Questioning connectivity
• Having new goals for flexible and foldable technology

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

5. What makes design
so complicated
according to Jones?
In Design Methods (1970)
“The fundamental problem is
that designers are obliged to
use current information to
predict a future state that will
not come about unless their
predictions are correct.”
5
6. Other problems that
designers have...
In Design Methods (1970)
“The designer must be able to
predict the ultimate effects of
their proposed design as well
as specifying the actions that
are needed to bring these
effects about.”

10. My ambition: to understand how
designers think and how they can
improve the way they learn and
work, so they can make better

13. I consider scripts a bit like ‘Automator’ scripts
What if...
Scripts are programs of
actions. These programs
of actions (or agency of
things) shape human
behaviour.

34. In essence, scripts are
about intentions (aims)
How the designer intends the artefact to interact with
its user(s) and context (or vice versa).
